All fine, more PSU than you need but who cares better safe than sorry.

Looks good, you could go with a 650w PSU if you want to save money.

[Enderman]

Pretty good, personally I prefer seasonic power supplies better, you would be fine with a 750W or 650W even.

Their titanium series is amazing.
Also, I've had better luck with WD drives than Seagate, maybe check if a WD red costs the same price.

well, if he has money for the 850 why not, so he wont need to upgrade the psu in the future

[Blackhole890]

imo, i'd try fitting there an air cooler like nh-d14 to avoid leaks from the aio

The only way you'd need it is if you go SLI, and that's generally not recommended and really, once the new gen of cards come out, won't really be needed either.

and also, less load = lower noise

leaking AIO's are so uncommon though. like, i've never encountered it ever, not on the forums, nor in real life.

also, if it leaks and damages something the manufacturer will pretty much always reward damages.

what do you mean? and what i try to say is, even if you never heard of, there's still a chance and it doesnt mean that it never happened before... So what im trying is to avoid that, also temps with the right air cooler will be enough, no need extra lower temps for far more money

ah i see thanks!!!!

OP I wouldn't try to fit a bulky air cooler in an S340 Elite.

 

Go with the X62, it's a great AIO and you won't have any regrets. NZXT CAM software could use a bit of work though.

noctua released other colored fans... just slap some of those onto a cooler

There are also cases of faulty air coolers with bent/ruptured heatpipes killing cpus. Does that stop you from getting air coolers?
